Xiahou Yuan, Li Guang's martial soul fused. It has four talent traits: Cavalry Master, Archery Essence, Marching and Horsemanship.

Originally, archery could enter the top ten at most, but now I am afraid that it can already enter the top three. Neck and neck with Lu Bu and Huang Zhong, but who is the real arrow god of the Han Dynasty, I'm afraid I have to compare to know.

Xiahou Yuan is the commander of this operation this time, Xiahou has always been Cao Cao's most powerful helper, and according to his bloodline, he is actually his Cao Cao's clan. The relationship between the two families has always been very good, and the brothers Xiahou Yuan and Xiahou Yuan are Cao Cao's youngest.

is also this level of identity, the two have always been very important generals under Cao Cao. This operation was very important, and Cao Cao could not just find someone to command. Considering that Xiahoudun was currently stationed in Taishan County, he was dispatched.

Lu Qian is just his lieutenant general, and he is nowhere to be found at the moment, perhaps he has other arrangements.

As for himself, at this moment, he led five hundred cavalry and five thousand foot soldiers towards the camp of the Fang army. In fact, strictly speaking, this camp was left by them to Fang Jun, and this funeral item should still be luxurious enough, right?

"Raid!" Xiahou Yuan is actually a person who is not smiling, and many things are one-sided. At this moment, he roared coldly, and then directly launched a charge.

The soldiers behind him may have also been devastated, and immediately increased their speed after hearing his order. The rocket, which had been prepared for a long time, was quickly ignited by a rocket soaked in fierce fire oil and mounted on a bow.

Bai Bojun was able to discover the secret of the stirrup, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, who were always paying attention to Fang Yun's existence, how could they not know the wonderful use of this stirrup? Xiahou Yuan's cavalry is a real archer cavalry!

"Shoot!" Xiahou Yuan also got on three rockets at this moment, and then shot directly towards the camp.

With his order, the archers below also fired one after another. More than 500 rockets were fired directly into the camp. At this time, Zhou Cang realized that these tents were not made of leather at all, but made of cloth, which was itself a flammable item.

There was no need for ignition at all, and these tents would soon turn into a ball of fire. Eventually, it turned into a sea of fire! In other words, from the moment these rockets are fired into the tent, unless they can extinguish the fire in the first place, they will have no way out! No one. Those who can venture through this sea of fire and exit the Tiger Prison!

"Shoot!" Zhou Cang ignored everything that happened next, and just gave the order.

In fact, everyone present knows that the main baggage in the army at present is only afraid that it is in the camp, and once the fire breaks out. Then the baggage will inevitably be implicated, and it will be a problem to eat tonight.

But if they mess with themselves, they won't be able to die here today. Which one should be chosen for starvation and death, as long as not a fool should know how to choose.

In fact, the people of the baggage camp are currently in the camp, and they will not be able to see the fire on this side. If nothing else, it is still possible to do a little bit of fire prevention. In fact, in the current situation, it seems that they can only believe that they can protect the baggage. However, in general, the most worrying thing than the baggage soldiers was the safety of those comrades in the baggage camp.

Zhou Cang's order came, and more than 3,000 strong crossbowmen from Gao Lan's side quickly fired. This is a real sniper crossbow. The effective firing range of 350 meters was already the farthest firing weapon at that time. Moreover, the distance between the two sides is currently less than 100 meters, and it is not a problem to penetrate the two.

Cao Cao's cavalry, shooting ability and mobility ability may indeed be good, and there may also be a talent bonus of 'Cavalry Grandmaster'. But there is also a common problem of all princes in the previous era, that is, there is no money to equip soldiers with iron armor.

Even when Cao Cao was at his peak, there were more than 100,000 cavalry under his command, but in addition to the officers who could have some iron armor, the cavalry below almost still used cloth armor or leather armor, and few people could use iron armor. At most, it is to add a patch to the heart area. Just strengthen the vital defenses.

Even the tiger and leopard cavalry, which is a heavy cavalry, is said to be the so-called men and horses are all wearing armor, but in fact it is not iron armor. If you think about it carefully, you will know that if it is a soldier's full body armor. And if the horses also have iron armor, then all the armor will be at least hundreds of catties. At that time, there were no horseshoes and stirrups, carrying a cavalry equivalent to two weights to gallop, I was afraid that at a distance of more than 500 meters, one of them would accidentally break the horse's leg.

The sniper crossbow design principle is 350 meters away. It is also possible to shoot a soldier in leather armor to be qualified. Now that the two sides are no more than 100 meters apart, then this crossbow bolt has passed, and it is definitely the result of piercing the body.

As expected, when the rain of arrows flew away, the five hundred soldiers and even the horses under their seats were directly shot into a sieve. Xiahou Yuan was also protected by two personal guards, so he was spared, but the horse was shot.

"What a powerful crossbow!" Xiahou Yuan couldn't help but be amazed when he saw this, but he wasn't too nervous or scared.

The more powerful the bolt, the slower it will be to rewind the arrow. With such a powerful crossbow, if you don't have time to wind it properly for a while, I'm afraid that you won't be able to carry out a second attack at all.

The soldiers in the rear sent a war horse, which was Xiahou Yuan's spare war horse. It was also when he came quickly that the horses used for transportation, and the last distance of more than ten miles, only changed to the war horse used for the charge.

"Shoot back!" Without the slightest fear, Xiahou Yuan gave the order to fight back.

At this moment, the foot soldiers had already come to the front of the formation, and the more than 2,000 strong crossbowmen in the front also began to shoot. They also seem to have strong crossbows in their hands, but the difference is that they are five consecutive strong crossbows. The effective range is about 100 meters, but a strong crossbow that can fire five crossbow bolts in a row can shoot such a long distance, which is actually very good.

This is also the best long-range attack weapon that Cao Jun has researched so far, whether it is killing the enemy or containing the enemy, the effect is very good. Earlier, during the conquest of Liu Bei and Tao Qian, this weapon also shone brightly.

The only question is what will happen to Fang Yun if this weapon is against Fang Yun? Only if you can still maintain the advantage of weapons when facing the Fang army, then this can be regarded as an excellent weapon. Otherwise, further development or abandonment are not necessarily two outcomes.

Just like the meeting they discussed at the beginning, this time it was indeed a temptation. Fang Jun's recent momentum is too strong, even if the princes have formed an alliance, and they have climbed the technology tree to some extent. But after all, there has been no actual fight with the Fang army, so it is difficult to judge the gap between the two sides.

But it is not good to officially start a war, and it is not good for one to turn into a full-scale war. When the time comes, I'll have to put myself in it. Therefore, it is also the best choice to take advantage of the fact that the Fang army is attacking Sizhou, and to carry out a tentative attack.

This time, Cao Cao put all the good things. How much did Xiahou Yuan bring it over. The quantity is not much, and it is still a type of trial product, so it is mainly used for test tests, to see the effect, and then deduce according to the results. Roughly determine the combat effectiveness of the side of the Fang army, and then measure the probability of victory after the start of the battle.

With Xiahou Yuan's order, the sky was instantly covered by crossbow arrows. More than 2,000 crossbowmen, equivalent to tens of thousands of crossbow arrows, were directly tilted out like this.

However, Zhou Cang was not afraid, he just raised his hand and protected the weakest face, and left it at that. The soldiers below also did the same, and there was no fear at all.

The crossbow bolts fell on them in this way, and in fact, when the last crossbow bolt fell, it did not kill or injure a single person. The whole body is an iron-clad Fang army. There is no fear of arrows or crossbows fired at that distance. However, if you shoot at a range of 50 meters, or if the power of the crossbow is more powerful, it may be difficult to say.

Even so, it shocked Xiahou Yuan. He never expected that Fang Jun was actually covered in iron armor, and it seemed that his defensive ability was quite good. If this is the case, we will have to carry out long-range strikes against them in the future, but I am afraid that the effect will not be ideal, and this point must be included in the reference, and I can go back and talk to Meng De.

"Charge!" Xiahou Yuan immediately gave the order to charge.

The three thousand sword and shield soldiers were directly killed in this way. The shields in the hands of these sword and shield soldiers, as well as the broadswords in their hands, are specially improved, and they are even more slashing, and at the same time, they are also stronger. The shield is also very effective against blows. Ordinary ring head knives and simple knives will not leave traces on them.

The soldiers below also met their nutritional needs to the greatest extent, and at the same time increased the amount and time of training. What Xiahou Yuan needs to determine now is the combat ability of the infantry in actual combat, as well as the gap with the Fang army.

Just before they could come to the front of the formation, the second wave of strong crossbows shot out directly. Fortunately, their shields are not for play. In the end, they still blocked the shots of these strong crossbows. More than thirty casualties were caused, but not much.

Seeing this, Xiahou Yuan was a little happy, at least the design of this shield was still very successful.

But I didn't want to, the opponent's cavalry launched a charge at this time!

Generally speaking, if you are an ordinary cavalryman, it is not too difficult to avoid the cavalry spear. After a long period of training, they even learned the knife technique of wading on the ground, and chopping by rolling, as long as the horse's leg is cut off, then no matter how powerful the cavalry is, they have to obediently dismount and die!

However, the cavalry under Zhou Cang's command was armed with a broadsword, and the means of fighting were not limited to stabbing, but also horizontal slashing and slashing. Probably anticipating the enemy's reaction, so the broadswords in the hands of the broadsword cavalry were also scattered, leaving no gaps. Even if you can dodge the first knife, the second knife will kill the soldier.

Under the charge of the cavalry, these 3,000 soldiers were so stupid that they could not be defeated.

"Retreat!" The experiment is over, and there is no need for Xiahou Yuan to stay here.

On the contrary, Zhou Cang, he is currently facing two choices: one is to fight the fire, so that he can save some baggage; One is to continue to pursue Xiahou Yuan and try to keep him here.

No one can see it now, Xiahou Yuan didn't plan to seriously fight with him at all, he just used himself to verify Cao Jun's war skills. Being played as a monkey by others, at least Zhou Cang felt very unhappy! (To be continued.) )

PS: From the beginning, it was a temptation. However, did Xiahou Yuan really retreat calmly like this?
